Be it known that I, JEWE'rT NnILnY V a citizen of the; United "States, residing'lat Endicott, the county of Broome and State of New York, 'have inven'ted certain new and us efullmprovements in Stamping plied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1 showing- Fig. 2. V

Attachments for Hide Splitters; and I hereby declare that the following I a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being "had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification V Thisinvention is a novelstamping mechflnisin d ign d for m in ree d sb -r fore placing same in the tanning liquors order to identify the particular kind of hide by the stamp. The inventionlis especially adapted for connection with hide splitting the i e' i .pr r ut, p pemtoryito a n n l ,w r

, V to have a die attached to. the head of a hamhorses, on which."

- The common method of stamping hidesiis" merlike instrument which is brought down with some 'force'upon the hide andby the outline of the die will be cut into the r e f the f ejv ual 'y po s e P rt of the head'iend orbutt endfofj thehideJ This is done after the green hide-is thrown over a horse which is something li'ke a I e t awhors pt th t inste d of h v n one 7 9' ba t h top s st f twi 'b'a Onth.

the attachment in detail. 7 a a Fig. 3. is a detail section on the line 33 A, A'designate the parallel top bars of a well known type of hide; splitting horse, which somewhat resembles an ordinary saw horse, these bars being supported by legs B which may beconnected at the bottom by a tie rod C and maybe fastened to the bars A, Aand to each other by through bolts Dg I for the dic "-ltened toithe underside of the bars A, Aand reinforced by a brace 7*; see Fig.,2. The 'longer arm i6 of the treadle is guided be-j The particular construction of this ,horse is not a feature of the present invention, 1

the horse andjn ear. r is an invertedpb Adjacent one end of the end {of each-bar A,-

shapedfl stamp i-carrying member having a horizontally disposed head 1, which is provided'with a socket uits under side for the reception of "a removable stamp or die S" which" can be secured thereto by a bolt 1 the zfaceof the die S projecting ibelowthe" lowerside fof the" member 1 and normally opposite the portion 1 which extends through a slot or r guidechannel intheside of'the bar A and is confined therein by a plate 31which if desired may 'contain a grooveor slot for guiding the shank l 7 1 the shanks l of the adjacent stamp members are preferably connected together by a tie" 1 preferably boltedthereto as shown and, thestamp members are normally heldin elevated position by any suitable means, prefdieS so as to; act as a platen lying above'the top of thefbar A.

Operation the hide is inserted under-the heads 110edevice whileretaining the essential and novel green hide is thrown over the homeland the head or butt portion-of I 110" tween the dies S andthe b1ocks12. Then i the operatorde presses the treadle6 With his foot thereby bringing the dies forcibly down upon the hide and impressing the stamps After the impressions are -madei I} upon the hide, and While. it rests upon the thereon.

. horse it is usually slitted frorn head to tail I by the operator drawing a sharp knife,

lengthwise between the two top barsfof the horse, thus splitting the. entire hide into] two sidesl Some ofjthe,

f are the stamps can be placedin exactly the same place on each hide; are thoroughly legible; theworkis uniform and the stamping is greatly facilitated, as the operator by simply depressing the. treadle performs operations that heretoforeordinarily re.-

' quired four operationsby hand, to Wit, pickw the springs when the .treadle is released.

The 'deviceis simple and inexpensive in conby the operaton; Y

5 What I claimis; 1. A hide splitting top bars; sta'mping member mounted on each bar adjacent-one end thereof; spring ineans'ffor normally holding the die carrying membersin raised position, and means struction and no vaspecial skill is required I, for simultaneously depressingthe die carryingj: members.

2. Ahide splitting horse having parallel fto p bars"; adie carrying member slidably 1 mounted on each bar adjacentone .end therenot; adie' carried by each memberyspring 40.

means for normally holding the die carrymg" members in raised position, I and. a treadle rmsimultaneously depressing the said members. r

$3, In combination Wfitha hide'splitting." horse having parallel bars, a movable die I 'depressedyand means for normally advantages of .my invention carrying member for each bar adjacent one depending below the bar; a connection between the'sh'anks of the membersbelow the bars, a treadle; a connection'between saidtreadle and said members whereby the said die carrying members may be simultaneously raising the members and treadle. I

4. Infcombination with a h de splitting horsehaving parallel bars, a vertically movable die stamping member slidably attached" to' each bar adjacent one end thereof each member havingfa die carrying portion on its upper end and a shank dependingbelow the bar; a connection betweentheshanks of the membersbelow the bars; a treadle pivotally mounted on thehorsebelow the bars;

an zicljhstable; connection between said:

treadle. andsaiddie whereby the said die carrying members may, be; simultaneously depressed, and springs fornormally raising the .die carrying members and readle.

,5, For a hide splitting horse having a longitudinal-slot for guiding the knife in splitting a hide; an attachment comprising 7 a pair of movable stamping 'members athorseliaying parallel tached-to the horse at oppositesides of the slot; a. treadle and connections'adapted to depress the members; and spring means for normally holding the treadle and members inraised position; i

members in raised position;-and means for simultaneously depress ng the said members to. causeithe devices to operate on the hide.

FI'n testimony 'thatI claim the foregoing as. my, owm l affix my signature.
